What's the law say about trading or copying sounds here in the states? I think it's wrong to pay for the actual sounds, but if you supply the materials so somebody can copy them for you is that wrong? Unless you put advertising on the internet, are the copyright holders going to press charges? I don't want to come across mean, I'm just curious about these questions. Isn't it easier just to throw some sounds on a floppy or 5 and send them through the mail?
I just got an S-760 and it came with a nice sample collection as part of the sale, but it's getting harder and harder to find the soundware for these samplers anymore. Anyone interested in trading sounds? Please email me....
Thanks,
Ken

That's one way. Another way is to write directly to a SCSI drive
(like a Zip), and wrwiting to floppy support is coming.

2.9.122

It could have been; that was a long time ago.

Generally you can, but it's probably best to do one Volume or one
Partition at a time. I'd like to see it do a full disk, no reason why
it can't.

How does translator output roland format? Does it write the ISO image and then you burn it to a CD? What's the latest version of traslator? I tried it once around 2001 or so and found it so buggy as if to be unusable. Can I just stick in an AKAI disk and it will spit out in Roland format? The native translation of AKAI on the roland is very slow and painful. Plus the key velocity maps seem to be all wrong.

Hi Gary thanks for the reply! I went to the electronic city web site and did not see any scsi switches. Any idea what model number I'm looking for and what price I should expect to pay? I also posted links to two switches below. Do you think these will work just as good?
Only one of my S760 has the video upgrade so I don't think a video switch will help me, right?
Thanks again,
Ken

Using multiple S-760s and was wondering if anyone has experience with using manual SCSI switch boxes?
Would like to share one scsi HD with multiple S-760s.
http://www.cablesonline.net/abcnscsiswit1.html
Here is one such switch box. This claims to be an actual SCSI switch with CN50 cables supported.
http://www.cablesonline.net/dbabswitbox1.html
Here is a DB25 box that is usually used for parallel printers, but it uses the same DB25 connector that is on the back of the S760 so I'm not sure why it wouldn't work.
Also, is there an actual difference between SCSI and parallel DB25 cables? I understand that you should not interface one with the other, but is the actual DB25 cable itself different? The reason I ask is because parallel cables are so much cheaper.
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
I have an S-760 with a bad LCD display. Can someone tell me the exact
series of steps to put the unit back into the mode that allows the use
of an external monitor?
I'll be doing it blindly, so I'll need something that reads like: "press
'down' 3 times, then press 'inc' ".
Thanks in advance!
Hey
I sold my samplers a long time ago, but have some stuff laying around.
I'd hate to just throw it out.
It's free to anyone that's willing pay shipping to have it sent to you.
But you must take all of it.
I believe everything was working the last time it was used,
but that was years ago.
You can estimate shipping a box about 20lbs from Pittsburgh PA to your location.
Here's what you'll get.
S-550 manual
S-330 manual
SCSI CD-ROM drive Apple 300e Plus
APS External SCSI hard drive of unknown size
SCSI terminator
Roland Director -S Sequencer Package SYS-503 for the S-50
Misc Sample CDs
David

Boy, what a really stupid question. It's been literally years since I last
fired this machine up and I'm reassembling my home studio, so in Patch edit
mode can someone please remind me how to change the name of a Patch? It's
probably the same way to rename a Performance, which I can't find either.
I've got both S-760 manuals right in front of me but I can't find on the
sampler itself or in the manuals how to rename a Patch!
Thanks very much in advance!
Jesse
